They frequently have entertainment and we went when the band Panorama was there... it was an awesome night if dinner and dancing! The service was attentive, not rushed. The portions, though small, were fresh and tasty. We started with the salad which was delicious and Calamari. I had the chicken Melanese- very good. It was a great night out! read more

Now called The Green, the restaurant is delightful, the service excellent, and seating can be either inside or out. The cheese rolls are lightly friend, crispy and served with a yogurt dipping sauce, the fried zucchini and eggplant were also delicious. Be sure to have an Arnold Palmer with lunch and enjoy the green! read more

We have been driving by this place for so long finally we decided to give it and try and we were not to impress. Ribeye Sandwich was a disappointment, the steak was not sliced as the menu said it would be. Just throw the steak on a piece of bread and cut it in half. The Humus was nothing special, we asked for more pita and they gave us regular bread instead. They ran out of beer (okay whatever not a big deal I guess that happens). The ran out of Sole, we order the chicken Marsala they brought us the chicken kebab. To their credit they replaced it and gave us free dessert. One of the waiters rigged of cigarettes smoke. It was week night so we were the only party of six at the entire place besides a small event that was taking placing around the bar. With all these 5 star reviews we expected better that's all. read more

Food for all four of our party was delicious. Salad, Cheeseburgers, and my rack of lamb was perfect. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, service was great. We sat outside on the back patio listening to great music while watching the people play golf on a gorgeous day!! Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. Will be back many more times to come. read more

I was told this place was under new management, not that I had a problem with previous management but thought I'd leave a review since they've changed the menu. I ordered the lobster roll and asked that they served it warm and it was delicious. Came after a midday tee time and it wasn't that busy at all. Would def come here again. read more

First time here on a Wednesday evening. Waiter named James was amazing. Waiting on tables, making drinks...yes he was alone except for kitchen staff Sorry no photos but everything was good. I had chicken wings and calamari for appetizers ( 6 of us ). Calamari was tender and wings cooked crispy just like we asked for I had spaghetti bolognese for dinner and it was also good. It's ladies night on Wednesday so drinks were $5. Karaoke annoyingly bad singers so will probably go another night next time The place is clean and rustic. Slightly formal and plenty of parking Outside eating in the summer read more

Decided to try this place out with a friend last Friday night. We have both heard nothing but good things and were excited for a fun night out. The dining room was spacious and had three large TVs which came in handy watching the Mets then Yankees while we were there. We were sat at a cute table near the fire place. To our dismay, the band that was supposed to play that night canceled, so we were a little upset about that, and there weren't many people there either. When we asked our server, he mentioned that the restaurant is under new management. I started with a big goblet of sangria and we ordered the calamari appetizer. My drink was very good and the app was pretty tasty as well, I liked that it came with a creamy spicy sauce in addition to the marinara. For my entree I ordered the Chicken Marsala and my friend ordered the Chicken Milanese. Both portions were very large and both cooked very well. We decided to end our night at the bar for an espresso martini, which was a little too heavy on the Bailey's for me. Overall, food was good and I'd go back another time, hopefully the band will show up! read more

What a great place! I was so skeptical because of the old owners and how bad it used to be...This is a COMPLETE OPPOSITE! We had the fried calamari (best I've had in a decade!, Barreda cheese was superb. The meatballs were so fresh and full of flavor. If that wasn't enough, the chicken Milanese was thin and tender, fettuccine Alfredo was hand made and so cheesy. But the best was my veal osso buco was fantastic. It was melt in your mouth. Cuts with a spoon! And the desserts were delectable. The owner came to our table and told us about the menu and was a great host. Thank you Sir!! Live music was awesome and the place looks so modern and relaxing. I would highly recommend everyone come here for dinner and you will not be disappointed. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night with a group of 6- no reservations needed and place was pretty quiet around 7pm. Half the group hung out by the bar while we waited for the other half to get here and chatted it up with some other patrons and the bartender who were all really chill and friendly. The overall ambiance had a very nice clubhouse vibe. I have to first, praise our server Jhoan, who seemed to have been serving the entire place by himself. He seemed to be in the middle of training three young ladies while waiting on about 6-7 tables on his own...so really, hats off to you! With that being said, let's get down to the nitty gritty: Food: mediocre, not the best but not awful..filled me up and tasted good, but nothing spectacular. I ordered a roasted veggie salad and the grilled lamb chop (4 pieces), that my husband and I shared, our friends ordered a brisket sandwich, rib eye stake, Cobb salad, and a rib eye steak sandwich. We ordered the appetizer fried calamari and the grilled octopus to share. The fried calamari was delicious. Probably the best dish of the night. Grilled octopus was ok. A little overcooked and too chewy. I've definitely had better, but the char on the octopus was nice, giving it that crunchy burnt taste. My roasted veggie salad was also delicious- pretty hard to mess up roasted vegetables, if you ask me. I was a little disappointed in the lamb chops as we asked for it to be cooked medium and it came out pretty well-done. My friend's rib eye should've been cooked medium rare but came out more on the rare side...a little TOO bloody...there really isn't much to say about the rest of the food two other sandwiches was ok- again, not food to rave about. My friends Cobb salad came with no dressing but that was an easy fix.. Service: well, really not the best. While our server was amazing, it didn't seem like the staff had that much knowledge about the food menu or drink menu. The three girls that was 'helping' didn't know what beers were offered and had to run and ask the bartender what they had. Really, working at any new place, I'd be more prepared and knowledgeable about the menu of the place I'm working. Our tables weren't cleared from our appetizer dish so when our entrees came, we were stacking our own plates to make room. No one came to take the empty dishes away until another person came and got it out of the way for us. When our plates were empty, we were asked 'do you want me to take that away?' ...which probably should've sounded more like 'are you finished with this? Can I get this out of your way?' Maybe I'm being too picky with the choice of words but really, the girls weren't trying that hard to provide good service. At the end of the meal, the girls all came and started collecting our plates while joking about something they were discussion earlier and one of the girls did a snort, spit, laugh during the dish collection. Highly unprofessional and immature. At one point, all three girls hung out behind the bar talking to two other people while the main server ran around waiting on all the tables. If it weren't for our main server Jhoan who recognized when one of our meals was missing and ran back and forth to the kitchen to get us ketchup for our fries, made sure our meals had what was written on the menu, and ensured our table had water replenished, I would given this place a two star review. The staff really was very friendly and nice, but the training process could've gone a little differently. It was a good day to train- I can't imagine what that place would be if they had trained three new servers on a Saturday evening. Overall, the place was fine, if you're already on the golf course or you're there with your family for mini golf. But I wouldn't come here again for the food or the prices. Kudos to the staff who were attentive and friendly. Keep in mind that a 20% gratuity is automatically added onto parties of 6 or more read more

I went to Taverna on the Green a few months back. A band that I enjoy was playing there. The waitress took our order at 8:00 PM and we waited until 10:00PM for the meal to arrive at the table. IT NEVER DID so we left and went to a local restaurant for a late night snack! We gave it another try this past Saturday when we went to another affair. My husband and I ordered what were supposed to be Belgium waffles. You could not even cut them with a knife. They were hard as cement! Coffee had to be sent back because it was cold. Another bad experience so once again we left the Taverna to find another place to have brunch, DON'T spend your time and money going here. read more

Excellent, friendly service! Warm, pleasant, happy ambiance. Beautiful fireplace! Large portions of very tasty food! My lamb chops were amazing! read more

Had lunch here with colleagues and it was a nice experience. Service was great, they kept our drinks filled and made sure we had space to talk. I ordered a burger and it was cooked exactly to my specifications, but they forgot my bacon. When I mentioned it they brought bacon over on a plate. My friends both had salads, and said they were delicious. Their website is terrible. The overlays for special events don't click off and you can't access the main site, so I couldn't get to it to make a reservation. It's a nice looking space, a cross between casual and fancy, and I could see having an event here. read more

If you're looking for a leisurely relaxing atmosphere with wonder food look no further. What a wonderful jewel! Nestled in Paramus overlooking the Paramus golf course we had a terrific meal sitting by the fireplace and served by an attentive wait staff including the owner and her husband. Everything was top notch from from the delicious toast served at the beginning of the meal to the coffee. My 95 year old mom who never finished anything raved about the New England clam chowder and thoroughly enjoyed the fillet of sole picatta. The crab cakes were equally delicious as they were mostly crab (not filler) and moist. I'm looking forward to being back in the neighborhood to go again. read more

Myself and 7 friends had dinner here for the first time. We all felt that this was the worst restaurant experience ever. The food was beyond bad. My chicken parmigiana was a small hard cutlet served with overcooked pasta covered with a marinara sauce that was totally inedible. Save your money !!!! read more

Our family had its Easter dinner here. We had a buffet style dinner for 43 people. Everything was delicious and abundant. Especially liked the calamari and the chicken Francese. The service was outstanding. Very friendly and accommodating. Great ambiance and the view of the golf course made it a real treat. Could not have been better! read more

The food was absolutely incredible and presented so nicely. The place is very cozy and everything was very nice. My mom got the chicken kabobs and I tried her rice... and it was honestly the best rice I've ever had LOL It had a very nice distinct flavor that's difficult to explain, so I guess you're going to have to come here and try it for yourself!! The staff was super super nice and told us that everything comes fresh from local markets and isn't frozen beforehand. So I totally recommend!! read more

TAVERNA On The Green in Paramus, New Jersey is a wonderful new dining venue that does not disappoint and only gets better with every visit. Your gracious host Joe has created an atmosphere that is inviting and delightful! The room is large and spacious for guests and members alike and besides being a golfing aficionado, these pros know good food. With a picture perfect fireplace, TAVERNA also offers dance nights like Salsa for the couple seeking a great night out! This was my second visit to TAVERNA and I have it on my personal leaderboard when visiting Northern New Jersey. Tonight (6/1/23) I had the Ceviche which was excellent and the main course was the fish special and I made a substitute for mashed versus rice. It was great. For desert I had the seven layer chocolate with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream which topped off this hearty meal. My dining guests had the Shrimp Cocktail and Pork Chops which on second thought I should have had as well! We all shared the grilled Octopus which was fantastic! The service and care is first rate and they do have a full bar and televisions for any sport event, especially any PGA event. The grounds are impeccable and the clubhouse is very nice and comfortable. I am not a member, but would consider application if I lived in the area! Looking for something truly unique? Consider TAVERNA On The Green as a place for lunch or diner. The dress code is casual and the environment is festive and fun! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

We came here on a Friday night to have dinner and listen to the band. This was our first time at the restaurant, but my parents, who we were with, go often. To start, this place is like a hidden gem. It is adorable instead with the ceiling beams, white tablecloths, and fireplace. We were going mainly to see the band but also to have dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and tasty the food was. Service was great and the manager on duty kept checking in with us. The bread was alright, it was a little too hard on the outside. We started with the fried calamari as an appetizer, it came with two different sauces and I thought it was delicious. My husband liked the texture but didn't love the breading. For the entree, I had the chicken Milanese which was tasty and large. My husband had the burger, the meat was very fresh and cooked perfectly. After we ate dinner, we kept ordering drinks and listening to the band. The sangria was so good! It wasn't that strong and was huge. We sat in the back at a high top which had an ideal view of the band. The band was outstanding! The singer had an amazing voice and everyone was singing and dancing. We will definitely be back here for dinner and the live music. read more

We liked food was good , service was very good, prices are reasonable for the quality. My one issue was the music was a bit loud for dinner time . We had friends from out of town , we don't see often and we couldn't talk. I think softer music from 7:00 to 9:00 and get the party going after 9:00 pm. Loved the live music though and would go back , just more in a party mode than dinner to visit with friends. read more

When I called to make a reservation, the person answered, "hello," without stating the restaurant name, I had to ask if I had the right number. We went on a Saturday night and were the only 2 people for a 6:00 reservation, which didn't speak well. There were 4 servers sitting and standing around the bar. We were given a food menu, but not asked about drinks. When the waitress came back, she took our order but wasn't able to answer questions about the food. Then she asked if we'd like a drink and brought a beverage menu. We ordered drinks and 20 minutes later they still hadn't arrived because the staff was looking for the wine bottle opener. We left, and went across the street to Biago's and we're not disappointed. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing drinks. Beautiful decor inside. What a gem. We found this place by happenstance. So happy we did. We got the crab cakes, salad, hector special, unique appetizer cheese rolls (called something else on the menu but I forget, they look like egg rolls- they're a must). I heard they have live entertainment on Saturdays and some Thursdays. We will definitely be back. Also- The owners happen to be eating at a table by us and they came up and introduced themselves. Seemed like very lovely genuine people. Looking forward to going back soon. Such a great find! read more

The food was really good. Had the octopus on veggies and the margarita was just right. They have latin nights the last Sunday of the months. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Server was nice and attentive. Even if you don't play golf this place is open to the public. Walk in's welcomed. The manager Victoria was really nice. The place has an old field could use some sprucing up to attract a younger crowd, maybe have some signature cocktails and I can totally see how on nice days the outside seating area would be a great place to be. read more

We had a lovely evening at Taverna with the terrific entertainment of "Panarama" ( good dancing) & the excellent table service by "Jhoan". We both enjoyed a shrimp cocktail & I then chose the Cobb salad, which was enormous & delicious. We also had a simple & satisfying Burger deluxe. A few cocktails & and an ice cream desert. Very pleasant establishment with easy parking. We will return! read more

A pleasant surprise! Live music, close to home. Was packed on a Saturday night- they definitely need more staff- we got up and went to bar 4x for drinks because was so backed up- After food finally came out, mine was completely wrong but it took so long to get the food I just ate it. I still liked it and will go back, and that's saying something! read more

A great new place even though it's been ther a year they have it working like a charm. The owner is personable and came to our table just to chat,tell us how some of the food is prepared and where they get their seafood and poultry from among other interesting things!The manager Casey who also was filling in as a server couldn't have been more pleasant, charming and efficient. We had wanted to eat outside to enjoy the beautiful view but when we got there it was raining. When the rain stopped she brought our drinks outside and wiped a table off for us to enjoy the sun...oh and the food was plentiful and delicious too! read more

We had the pleasure of dining at Taverna on the Green a few weeks ago and wanted to extend my recommendations. We were greeted by Joe who explained the history of the place (civil war building with huge post and beam construction) and about their chef and his exquisite cuisine we would soon be enjoying (to which we sampled a few on the house). The service was second to none, quick, hot absolutely delicious. All the veggies fresh and the meat was cooked to perfection. We are going there for our Valentines dinner and can't wait! We have recommended it to many and everyone has come back to us with raving reviews. Ask for Joe and he will help make your experience there one to be remembered. Highly Recommended! read more

Didn't realize this restaurant was connected to the golf course. Not sure how I didn't put that together but maybe my brain was in a fog. We liked the spacious exterior so if you like dining outside it is a good spot. They had all sorts of stuff on the menu. We went with the standard fare. The cheesesteak with fries was ok. Wish there was more meat in the cheesesteak. Good flavor though. The beer battered onion rings were probably the best thing we had. Calamari was also solid. A little more elevated than your typical golf course restaurant. read more

What a great evening had at Taverna On The Green last night!! Made reservations to catch one of our favorite bands there last night and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in and were escorted to our table we knew it would be a good night ahead. Our waiter, Brian, was absolutely wonderful on all counts, could not have been better!! The food was fresh and well prepared. My friend's ceviche looked like a work of art and the crab cakes were outstanding! The vibe at Taverna was fun and spirited. Everyone was having such a great time. The drinks were excellent and the fact that they have some of the best local bands play there on the weekends is a bonus. Keep up the good work Taverna!! read more
